Detox Spas
A friend and I want to take some time off in May and go for a week to a Spa for a very healthy week to really detox. We are not talking about a nice spa, we are taking about a full on detox place. Anyone have any recommendations?

Re: Detox Spas
I've heard that this place has some very good programmes

Very funny! Not. Slap!
I dont want to use a hose, I want to live off rabbit food and have tough massages and come back glowing and 10 pounds lighter and gorgiss.

I think the idea of a detox is to feel like utter shit, but by using the no pain no gain principle you can convince yourself that it is doing you good

Re: Detox Spas
Unfortunately I can't give any advice, except that the stay at home thing is not necessarily a bad one for detoxing. I'm on day 13 of my fast - my skin is improving greatly, I've lost weight, I feel pretty well and I have a massage scheduled for Saturday! And I get to spend some real vacation time on Hawaii instead of in a detox place where I'd probably get depressed.
Re: Detox Spas
This looks nice and has all kinds of detox programs (also pretty hefty ones):

Re: Detox Spas
I'm not sure about detox.
But I do I want to go on one of those places that forces you to do exercise everyday with trainers, and have good vegetable, salad and protein meals. I know how to do all that in my head but struggling with discipline and will power to get going - think a bit of forced activity like that for a week would get me over my little hump of getting started. Sort of like a live in bootcamp (but nice with a good shower and not in tents!) (PS anyone know anything like that in ausland that isn't heaps and heaps of thousands dollars - there's something nice up outside Sydney, but it was like >$3,000)(PPS this is it Aliya if you were flying through Aus, but looks more luxury than scary http://www.goldendoor.com.au/default.as ... gory&ID=21)

Now that sounds like a good idea. Can you get one with wine too? (Oh, and babysitters I suppose )Tas wrote:I'm not sure about detox.

Re: Detox Spas
A friend of mine went on a detox week and ended up in a coma followed by complete memory and speech loss due to Hyponatremia. It's a severe salt deficiency that affects brain function, so beware of any of these intense detox programmes, they can be dangerous. My friend now has permanent memory loss problems.

Re: Detox Spas
there's plenty of information out there that shows that extreeme anything is bad bad bad for you, unless under doctor supervision addressing an actually extreeme condition.

Re: Detox Spas
Chivasom is excellent friends swear by it but quite $$$. Will look at it again though. I just want a sort of bootcamp, good cleansing food with a bit of fasting (I can do that bit at home of course), yoga, meditation, massages, just an overall Aliya pampering glowing skin regime. AND I need a holiday!!! JJ the star has sent me some fab information will look into it. A friend from China is doing it with me.

Re: Detox Spas
Well you should certainly get lots of exercise with your "friend from China" there.
Re: Detox Spas
That's another friend from China, I don't think she will sleep with me
